Bank Top Brewery Tap, Bolton

68-70 Belmont Road, Astley Bridge, Bolton, BL1 7AN (View on Google Map)

This is the original tap house for the multi-award winning Bank Top Brewery, which is based less than a mile away. It is a popular and busy two-roomed street-corner local with a large outdoor drinking area and covered smoking shelter. The atmosphere is one of a traditional community pub with conversation to the fore and distractions limited to quiet background music and a dartboard and small, often silent TV in the bar. The pub is a showcase for locally-brewed real ale promoted by knowledgeable bar staff and has deservedly won numerous CAMRA awards. There are nine handpumps supplying ales mostly from Bank Top Brewery, with Flat Cap, Pavilion Pale and Dark Mild normally available alongside a changing range from the brewery stable. A guest beer from another brewery is available at all times on one of the pumps. There are usually up to 6 bag-in-box and bottled ciders available of which sometimes one will meet Camra's criteria for being real, to check that these are real consult the list via the link below.
